Fascinating.
Please do it. It’s beautiful. So much love in so few lines. ❤️
Well i just got a lovely message from someone who said she had printed this out and read it to her grandmother. Who was now insisting she tell the "internet dragon love story man" how much she loved it.
And i can honestly say that has made my week if not my year.
Brilliant. An expat im Dubai has a startling revelation, by @stephencollins.bsky.social

Bert the Blackbird is a legend
A wild bird that filled our life with joy. But he has gone
🇺🇦 Zelensky: We have survived this winter, the most difficult in all the years of the war. The Russians wanted to turn this winter into the destruction of Ukraine and Ukrainians. But Ukraine did not break. We have preserved our energy system.
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
Wonder too how much the brilliant documentary drama about the state of the water companies, helped the Greens?
I never knew they had yellow highlights. Beautiful photo. Beautiful bird
I’m hoping to do some star gazing tomorrow. But afeared that clouds will prevent any view.
With so much AI-generated imagery about, being a self-employed illustrator can feel a bit daunting.
To support someone who takes a couple of days to produce each illustration, please head over to matthewjiwood.com and take a look, or simply share this post - both hugely appreciated.

18.00 OPENHEIMMER ALL HOURS It's been a funny old day. I came up with the deadliest know weapon known to all mankind. I said to Granville that "Now I had bbbbbbbebbbbecome ddddddeath". There was an almighty bang and I thought that was the end. Turned out to be that damned till.
This one is blowing up.
🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A small human (4?) is waiting at a pedestrian crossing with Nana but the light is taking SO LONG to go green. With a huff, she lays down like a starfish on the footpath and says: "Tell me when we can go Nana! I'm SLEEPING NOW!" (1)
+ ‘Casualty’? I’d definitely give that mash up a watch
4 and of course 10
AND he was a journalist ❤️
Desperately looking for anyone in Scotland to foster a 2 year old female cat named Bambi. Incredibly affectionate and friendly. Indoor-only. Whether temporary (a few weeks) or longer term.
She's going to be put to sleep otherwise -- due to a heart issue that won't affect her for another 12 months
That’s excellent. Exactly right.
Just turned off #r4Today as they were (yet again) promoting that dreadful little man #Farage and also Robinson’s podcast (what fresh hell is this?) As a note, in this house I say Fa-rage. So there is no long emphasis on the age, emphasis on the F. Makes him less entitled; like Hyacinth Bucket.

So true. X
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN!! 🎂
Photo of Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl, with an inset showing a closeup of the football he carried. Words are written on the football: “TOGETHER WE ARE AMERICA.” Above the photo is the name Jason Nevarez & the following text: “As a Jew, a rabbi, and proud Puerto Rican, I felt a powerful confluence in that moment - a people holding onto identity, memory, and hope in the face of dismissal. That's a story the Jewish community knows well. And the takeaway for us is clear: we do not shrink our language, our culture, or our love to make others comfortable. We stand tall in who we are - and we bless this country by bringing our full selves to it.”
The rabbi of the congregation I grew up in & where my family in San Diego still goes.
This is the end of his Facebook post about Bad Bunny’s halftime show (which be began by noting hood family comes from the same town as Bad Bunny).

A really cool little sheep, staring at me through a fence with interest.
After years of frustration in his quest it would seem that one of The Empire’s deadliest bounty hunters has finally tracked me down.
